Chapter 24: Master Fisherman
Leave the village where you stayed last night.
The two set off at noon the next day and entered the forest.
With more than three days to go before the next human settlement, Lindsay and Eleni can't avoid sleeping in the wild.
But this time in the evening.
Lindsay didn't rest right away as he had before.
While Eleni takes care of her horses, Lindsay sets out alone and arrives at the river with the collected materials.
"You can't craft a high-end fishing rod, but you can use it for ordinary use, and it's no problem."
Standing on the edge of a river six or seven meters wide.
Clear water flowed in front of her, and Lindsay smiled at the corners of her mouth.
Spider silk can be used to craft cloth, but it cannot be used as a fishing line for fishing rods.
He had always felt that this matter was very unreasonable.
But after returning to civilization, this problem is no longer a problem.
Adding the silk thread bought in the village, Lindsay used several pieces of wood in her hand to synthesize several corresponding fishing rods.
Under the premise that no special materials are added.
The performance of these rods is not much different.
Lindsey tried the feel and finally chose a fishing rod made of peach blossom star wood.
It's by the river at the moment.
He switched the game module, hung the bait on the fishing rod, and tucked the small bench he had prepared under his butt before throwing the rod out to the surface of the water in front of him.
Plop β
The hook sank into the river, and Lindsay began to wait.
After killing the dragon beast in the Black Mountain World, in addition to the complete unlocking of the [RPG module]. [Hunting Simulation] also opened the new skill of [Fishing Master], but unfortunately Lindsay didn't have the opportunity to try it before.
Leave Lookout City at this moment.
On the way to Jiuwan City, the rivers in the forest gradually increased.
The dense forests are indispensable for the nourishment of water, and even the name of Nine Bay City comes from the three rivers that surround the city and their three inlets.
Even according to the information that Lindsay gathered on the road, the river in front of him was also a tributary of the Jiuwan River.
With a rare casual mood.
Lindsey stared at the water and began to experiment with her new skills.
Whoop -
The hook was flung in again and again.
Every once in a while, the buoys on the surface of the water also shake gently.
The skill of the game is directly related to Lindsay's essence, and he feels the consumption of a moment, so he decisively raises the rod.
And so on for a few minutes......
"Aquatic weeds?"
"Broken shoes?"
"Broken wood?"
"Wait...... What about my fish? β
Lindsay's face was full of confusion and puzzlement.
He sat by the river for more than an hour, surrounded by a pile of garbage, but not a single fish was baited.
"It shouldn't be!"
Lindsay's expression was slightly distorted.
He felt that even without the help of skills, under normal circumstances, fishing in this pure natural forest river should be fruitful for more than an hour.
How could it be like this?
"There's no way skills bring negative bonuses, right?"
Lindsay was a little fidgeting.
He stabilized his mentality, simply stood up from the small bench, and while he was more engrossed in fishing, he began to chant words in his mouth:
"What about the Golden Rule? Can you start the effect? β
"Since you can make me rich, then don't let me be short of fish!"
Whoop -
Almost at the same time, the fishing line flickered again.
"This time it must be right!"
Lindsay was full of confidence.
With an exaggerated 30+ force, he slammed it up, directly causing the rod to cut a graceful arc in the air, and the splash even resembled a crescent moon.
Smack!
A clump of aquatic weeds was hooked up from the bottom of the river by Lindsay and dragged to the side of the ground.
Water stains gradually spread from the aquatic plants.
Lindsay felt something in her heart flowing out.
For more than an hour, I didn't catch anything normal, is this really okay?
"Next time, next time it should be fine!"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Lindsay?"
"It's so late now, don't you have a break?"
Lindsay was gone for a long time.
This situation made Alini in the makeshift camp also alarmed.
The cautious merchant girl got out of the blanket and yawned to the river, where she saw Lindsey sitting on the branch of a banyan tree by the river, fishing from above and downward.
Aleni asked with some hesitation:
"You...... What's going on? β
Lindsey replied coldly:
"Fishing."
ββ¦β¦β
Aleni shrunk her neck.
She turned her head to look around, but she didn't find anything that she expected to appear, so she continued to ask Lindsay in the tree with a puzzled expression:
"If you're fishing, what about fish?"
ββ¦β¦β
Lindsay in the tree didn't answer, and Aleni blinked.
The merchant girl doesn't know that Lindsay is competing against her [Master Fisher] skills. Summarizing the limited information from the images in front of her, Alini finally came to a conclusion.
"Heyβ"
"If you really want to eat fresh fish, I can do it."
The merchant girl smiled warmly.
She pulled out a carved wooden coin from the merchant's space.
This is the prototype of a double snake coin, which has only a very small amount of value, and it is quite difficult to lure even ordinary people.
Immediately, Alini threw the coin into the water.
Smack-plop-plop -
Coins are thrown into the water.
Almost at the same time, a fat arapaima leaped out of the water and landed in front of Eleni.
The merchant girl kicked the fish unconscious, and then held it up below Lindsay.
"Look, it's easy, isn't it?"
"It's so late, get ready to get ready for an early rest."
In this case, Lindsay was really embarrassed.
He had no choice but to respond to Alini, but the hook in his hand still did not let go:
"Elenie, you're mistaken."
"I have a reason why I have to keep fishing here."
The merchant girl grabbed the big fish in her hand, her expression a little dazed.
She thought about it for a few seconds, and then she had an idea:
"Lindsay, I remember your ability to be a gamer......"
"Could it be that fishing is a game in your craft?"
At this moment, Lindsay even had some emotion.
"It's great that you're so easy to understand......"
Whoop -
Suddenly, Lindsay felt the rod in her hand bend downward.
There was a glimmer of hope in his heart.
But after several hours of torture, he couldn't believe this hope.
As if in a mechanical reaction, Lindsey followed her habit and went up, and this time there was a peculiar 'whoo' sound on the surface of the river.
"Huh?"
"What's that?"
Both are awakened beings, and their perception abilities are above those of ordinary people.
So the moment the hook came out of the water, they all turned their eyes and locked this outrageous scene.
Lindsay's hook still didn't catch a live fish.
But with a white splash of water, hooked to the shore by a fishhook, it was actually a tightly fitting box!
Eleni's expression was wonderful.
Even with the experience of a businessman, she has no idea what is going on:
"This ...... Is that what you're going to catch? β
Lindsay was a little bottomless in her heart, but on the surface she nodded very confidently:
"yes, that's what I want!"
